Seedling getting too much light?

Is my 6cm tall seedling getting too much light? I downloaded a luxmeter app and for front/back cameras, it reads 4000-6000 lux. I'm worried about the light green veins. Is this normal? First grow so super unsure what everything is supposed to look like. Light is 18cm from plant.

Hey So looking at photo 5, having a seedling this young that's 6 inches tall...is stretching for light. Versus excessive light. I usually raise these itty bitty babies under a couple cfl twisty bulbs(low heat and can be 4 inch from the plant). I think the mars light is going to be better in the end. Right now id just be mindful of watering practice (over or under), and keeping the room as comfortable as can be. If it's decent soil you should only need to give it water right now and survive. Ive had some bright growth on young veg plants and it be totally normal, watch for cupping leaves, burning leaves, etc. And maybe support the seedling if it wants to tip over. When the mars comes definitely keep it like 30 inches away at first and then slowly adjust. Happy growing. ✌️

In my opinion is good, if the readings are correct lux are quite perfect for seedlings that needs nearly 6500lux
